finally some behind the scenes of my favorite scene from season two! don’t get me wrong I love all mileven scenes but this scene with mike and hopper was so emotionally powerful. it really just shows how much the loss of eleven effected mike and all the emotion and anger he was holding in. this scene is purely the release of all mike’s pent up emotion and anger. it shows mike dropping this wall that he has put up to keep everyone out. mike is just completely vulnerable in this scene. he could only hold it in for so long. but seeing that el has been alive this whole time, right under his nose, mike just can’t handle the fact that he went a whole year alone, believing that el was still out there when everyone told him he was wrong. mike is outright screaming and sobbing into hoppers arms meanwhile punching him in the gut because even if hopper was just trying to keep el safe, mike needs someone to blame for all the torture he has been through. I also think this scene was a realization for hopper about how much this boy really cares for his newfound daughter. it really just shows how much mike loves and cares for eleven. they have been apart for almost a year and meanwhile they were both slowly breaking and crumbling to the floor. mike became distant and depressed, pushing everyone away and acting out. then we have eleven who just wants to be a real teenage girl and hang out with her friends, and even more so be with mike. he was the first one to show her kindness, the first person to show her friendship, and the first person to show her love. they really need each other and I think that it is represented in this scene. thank you for coming to my ted talk:’)
